A small installment for those who requested it! 😉
Chapter 11 What about love?
Gayatri spent the rest of the day with a blissful blush to her cheeks and sparkle in her eyes something that hadn't gone unnoticed by the likes of Swarna but she tried not to tease.
On the other hand news of Ranaji's recent marriage had soon got to the ears of Rani Sulakashana and there was the sound of glass breaking and tables turning that was heard by all in the mehel most importantly Ranaji who was in a meeting.
...
"Have you finished?' He said in a royal tone of voice as Sulakasha threw yet another piece of glass to the floor. When she looked up at her husband her mind only called out in more anger.
It didn't take long for Sulakashana to get her hands to the body Rana's suite and make her anguish me known to him. She tugged at his blazer in anger as her tone roared all corners of the room.
"WHY!!"
WHY!!?? If it was the company of a woman you needed you had Subharna in fact you could snap your fingers and have any girl at your disposal Indar WHY marriage. WHY GOD DAM IT!, ANSWER ME!!
"HER FAMILY IS WEALTHIER THEN MINE IS THAT IT?.
OR IS IT ABOUT POWER, A POLITICAL DEAL MAYBE OR MAYBE SHE'S PREITTER THAN ME IS THAT WHAT IT IS WITH YOU AFTER ALL INDAR YOU'RE EASILY BORED, FIRST SUBHARNA, THEN ME NOW THIS GIRL!"
Rana had been patient for long enough he took a strong hold of Sulkashana's wrists within his hand and overpowered.
"Enough!" The roar as you would expect from a King was almighty and put Sulkshana to quiet but not the fury in her eyes that was pretty much something that remained. He expected nothing less than this from her but he also hoped she would give him atleast a chance to speak on the matter and as per nature a kings ego only had so much tolerance before it began taking offence to uncultivated behavior. His words were stern, measured and meaningful yet his eyes were hopeful, warm and genuine.
"Gayatri is a decision I have no regrets in making, if you are sensible enough you will see that my intentions are just' as was my action in marrying her but seen as you are in no state of mind to listen to anything I have to say on the matter We'll try this conversation another time." he let go of her but she continued in her madness.
"I WON'T LET HER TAKE MY PLACE, I WILL MAKE DAM SURE I GET EVERYTHING I AM ENTITLED TO INDAR, MY SHARE OF THE KINGDOM, MY RESPECT, MY STATUS SHE WILL TAKE NOTHING OF IT AWAY FROM ME. !"
He looked at her eyes with pity because non of this was ever about all that his Sona had changed that was sure because the woman he knew of would have at least tried to see things from another point of view. He had nothing to say he simply stepped back and turned to walk away and as he straightened his jacket she had pulled to disarray he acknowledged her words.
"I thought you were genuine when you said you loved me. You said that you could love no woman the way you love me I am a fool for believing you.
Stopping in his steps he didn't turn back to her purely to protect that image of the love for his wife he had but he responded non the less.
"And even so I'll look into your eyes and repeat those words to you yet again today and tomorrow and the day after that.
The thing is I don't think you would believe me Sona or maybe you no longer care for love at all because out of all the things you mentioned love' was the very last when it was always the very first for the Sulkashana I married."
...
As Rana stepped out of the room he walked into two other women stood outside looking like they awaited him. Swarnlekha and beside her Gayatri. Whatever little of the conversation they may or may not have heard the expressions on the women's faces told him that they had probably heard some of what was going on behind that room.
Rana's eyes were increasingly for Gayatri but he could see she was still very hesitant around him and it was reasonable for her to be they had been married for just two days and it was likely now that she had overheard things that he wouldn't want her to have. The couple maybe talking with there eyes but what Gayatri needed to say couldn't be possibly conveyed in silence so she did the honors.
Gayatri ji aap se apne ghar jaane ke liyey isjaat maang ne aayi hai. Pag phere ki rasam ke liyey'. (Gayatri would like your permission to leave the mehel for her pag phera. )
He looked at Gayatri and then at Swarlekha. "Beshak, (of course )but you will accompany her", agreeing Swanlekha smiles whilst Rana is about to walk past Gayatri but pauses putting his hand over Gayatris head for a moment in an attempt to comfort the apprehension in her eyes before walking off.
